Books in the Hash Functions category examine the mathematics, algorithms, and engineering of mapping arbitrary data to fixed-size digests, a cornerstone of both data systems and security. Titles range from introductory primers to advanced monographs, covering cryptographic hashes (e.g., SHA-2/3, Keccak, BLAKE3) and high-speed non-cryptographic hashes (e.g., MurmurHash, xxHash, CityHash, SipHash), with attention to properties like collision resistance, preimage hardness, universality, avalanche behavior, and statistical quality. Readers learn how hashes underpin hash tables, indexing, caching, deduplication, Bloom filters, content-addressable storage, consistent hashing, checksums, digital signatures, and blockchains, as well as common pitfalls (birthday attacks, length-extension, bias) and mitigations (salting, HMAC, domain separation). Practical guides address implementation details—performance tuning, SIMD and hardware acceleration, memory layout, and side-channel considerations—while theoretical works delve into probability, information theory, complexity, and modern cryptanalysis. Suitable for students, practitioners, and researchers in computer science, security, and systems engineering.
